1. BOLETUS SPECTABILIS 7. Sp. 
Pileus broadly convex, viscid when moist, squamose, bright 
red, with brownish scales, sometimes pink with brownish- 
yellow scales ; tubes convex, attached, large, angular, ochra- 
ceous ; stipe nearly equal, solid, annulate, yellow stained with 
red or subconcolorous; veil membranaceous, red, viscid ; flesh 
yellow ; spores dark ferruginous. 
Height 4’-6’, breadth of pileus 3-5’, stipe 6” thick. 
Mossy swamps. North Elba. August. A large showy 
species. 
The scales of the pileus are large and distant, except on the 
disk. (Plate 6, figs. 1-3.) 
2. BoLETUS PICTUS 72. Sp. 
Pileus broadly convex or expanded, viscid when moist, at 
first covered with a red tomentum, which soon breaks up into 
rather small close scales; tubes plane or convex, attached, 
large, angular, yellow ; stipe equal, solid, annulate, subcon- 
colorous; flesh yellowish. 
Height 1.5'-3’, breadth of pileus 2’, stipe, 3’-5” thick. 
Woods and borders of swamps. Common. July and 
August. 
The red tomentose scales give it a pretty spotted appearance. 
The stipe is slightly marked at the top by the decurrent walls 
of the tubes. 
3. BoLETUS LUTEUS JL. 
Pileus convex, sometimes expanded, smooth, dull yellow, 
when moist coated with a brownish gluten, streaked or 
obscurely reticulated with brownish-yellow ; tubes plane or 
convex, short, attached, minute, subrotund, ochraceous yellow ; 
stem equal, annulate, solid, scabrous with small reddish or 
brown dots; flesh whitish, inclining to dull yellow; annulus 
brownish. 
Height 2’, breadth of pileus 2’-3’, stipe 3’—5” thick. 
Sandy soil. Center. October. 
Our specimens, in color, vary somewhat from the type, and 
have the stem dotted its whole length. Edible. 
4, BOLETUS CLINTONIANUS 2. Sp. 
Pileus thick, convex, viscid when moist, smooth, shining, 
bay-red, or chestnut-color; tubes nearly plane, attached, sub-
